Susceptible to anger.

Happy easter Monday to you all. Wishing you all the blessings the season brings. The government have already declared today as a public holiday and all workers are to remain at home. Except for the essential workers that provides essential services. I guess bloggers are essential workers too, that's why we still blog on a public holiday 🤗

So, laast night,we finally had the first rainfall which really helped in deflating the severe heatwave that had been ravaging the city for months now. Needless to say, I had a beautiful and cool sleep that made me woke up later than my usual time. The weather is still cloudy and friendly over here as the 🌞 seems to be awestruck by the sudden rain, even though it claims to be the fiercest object in the universe. Lol

Well, since anger is a natural emotion, we all have been made angry recently or at one time or the other . Although , the way it's been managed vary steadily across the population, depending on level of maturity, age, wisdom, discipline and so on. It's common knowledge that some individuals are more aggressive than others.

Sitting close to me right now is a cousin who is in an angry mode and I am quite certain she will definitely transfer her aggression to me in any moment from now. She's fond of doing this. Whenever she appears to be upset by something or someone, I do my best never to get on her already excited nerves else she would burst.

Most times, I don't mind volunteering to do her chores whenever she's in such a mood even though I'm older. In such a state of mind, it's better to let her be than to engage her. She would end up buying the wrong stuffs if sent on an errand to the market or might even lose the money. Recently, I asked her to go get water from a nearby tap, she forcefully slammed a bucket on the floor and it broke . So, it's better to leave her alone when she's seething with rage and do the chores yourself else you would just have to start all over again from square zero!

I have come to realize that people who get angry easily feel worse whenever they are ignored . Sometimes, this cousin of mine would reluctantly approach me and tell me the reason for her bother. Few minutes into our discussion, she might start to transfer her aggression on me, about a matter that I totally knew nothing about! Especially when I try point out her fault in the matter.

In order to avoid an awkward situation, I might just decide keep mute and allow her do the talking. But still, she becomes more furious when she realises that I am not saying anything. Especially when she thinks I'm not actually listening to her.

And when I decide to use filler words like " ok... Oh.... Is that so?... really?...wow", she would start to sound irritated again, thinking that I don't care. I don't even try shake my head sideways whenever she's talking, else she'd interprete it wrongly.

It's almost impossible to have a peaceful conversation with her whenever she's in such a mood, even when she's the one who starts talking to you first.

I find this rather strange. No matter how upset I might be, if I could get someone to listen to me for just five minutes, then all my anger evaporates and I become as good as new.

Sometimes she gets up from bed with anger but this is quite understandable. Been emotionally soft, a woman might get angry spontaneously just as how easily she could start crying at the drop of a hat. But passing through the whole day with such a mood ain't normal at all. Definitely there just have to be something that eventually or immediately brightens up your day. Things like music, movie, read.cash🤗, a call from a partner, social media......

Did I forget to mention that such a person can be very petty? Always going about insignificant matters for a length of time. More than a week ago, I missed her call three times and that was because I was taking a shower. Unfortunately I forgot to apologise when we saw each other in the evening. Two days ago, I was about to relay an important information (that concerned her), but her lines remained unanswered. By the time she finally responded, she claimed that she had been fast asleep, even when I could hear loud music playing in the background.

Whatever if it were a distress call? I wondered.

Sometimes, I can't help but wonder how her mom had possibly bear with her when she was younger. Because as children, our impatience were worse than now and we gave our mothers enough headaches. I could only admire the strength of her mother that sometimes, I feel like giving the old woman a 🏅.

whoever her boyfriend is, I also think he deserves a national award or two for being able to cope with such an individual for long. I only hope she will not beat him up one day.
